Coil Selection Software

Our coil selection software

WinCOIL and WebCOIL

All coil types accommodated: hot water, cold water, DX, steam, condenser, run around/glycol heat recovery coil system design.

Computair’s coil selection program is available either as a standalone or web-based package. Whether your preference is for WinCOIL or WebCOIL, the program offers the same advanced design, rating and selection for coils and heat exchangers. 

Designed with the coil manufacturer in mind, our coil software allows the user to configure the system with fundamental design details, heat transfer data and costing information. Coil configurations can be added to, deleted or altered as required.

Typically coils are constructed from copper primary tubes, with aluminium or copper fins attached by mechanical bonding. Coils are selected by means of fundamental equations working in conjunction with an operator-amendable database.

Key features

SELECTION AND RATING OPTIONS

All coils apart from the run around coil system can either be selected (designed to achieve a particular duty), or rated (the performance of a given coil).

VARIETY OF GEOMETRIES AND TUBE SIZES

We have a wide range of geometries and tube sizes, allowing the user to configure the system and add different options on request.

BLACK BOX/DLL/WEB SERVICE CREATION FOR 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE

Our coil software offers the facility to develop your own black box/DLL or web service that can be incorporated into 3rd party client software.

CALCULATION ENGINE FOR NEW REFRIGERANTS AND MICROFIN TUBES

Our coil performance calculations are based on the best available mathematical modelling of refrigerant flow regime as fluid flows through the coil circuits for both smooth and microfin tubes. Heat transfer and frictional pressure drop is accurately calculated for a wide range of refrigerants. Our list of supported refrigerants is constantly being added to.
